if you have had total knee replacements can you use this machine

Sir, I would not even attempt to answer that question. I think you need to ask your doctor.

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

I actually don't know. Your legs are hanging, totally straight up side down. Not sure if it would be be painful.

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.

I have knee problems (my knee cap is off to the side). Using this machine aggravated my pain to the point that I had to stop using it.

We bought the Polar Ice Large Knee Wrap for use after my wife's total knee replacement. She used it daily for about six weeks. It would come from the freezer to her knee and back to the freezer. We never needed to replace any of the individual ice packs. She was very satisfied with the Knee Wrap. It was easy to use and served her well.

I have no idea. I have only used it for me knees. Look on Kinesio's website for taping ideas or email them directly.

Btw, if this is for a knee replacement you will most definitely need packs for the back of the knee.

Yes it would. My wife had a hip replacement and her friend had a knee replacement. They both had the same physical therapist at the same hospital and later at home. They both bought and used the medical pedal exerciser and it really helped them both to a complete recovery. The price is cheap, but the construction is good.

My mother has knee problems. I would not recommend this for you because it only has two steps, i believe the second step would be too high for you. Pick something with 3 or 4 small steps instead of 2 big steps. If you are like my mom the 2nd step is too high a step, you will have to bend your knee too much.

Yes, and also instructions for using it with a door way. They are all activities to do while standing. My wife is the one using it according to instructions from a PT following knee replacement surgery. She uses none of the exercises in the pamphlet. If your intent is to use it for general fitness OK; however, if it is post surgery or injury you should only do what a doctor, PT, or personal trainer tells you.

Absolutely not. The home PT/INR machine requires a prescription from your doctor.

Before you buy the machine look for information in internet, supposedly works. Now, from personal experience I have a relative who is inflamed legs and the machine will help, also know a lady who told me that I help, for it was to buy it.

I have never tried it, but manual says you can. I'm satisfied with the machine , it does what I wanted it to do.

I'm not sure. I have a knee replacement and it beeps for that. If it's not too far under I think it would work.

no TENS machine worked for me after my knee got to bone on bone. If it is cartilage damage, I did get some relief. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately it does. Not extremely inconvenient but not my favorite top pad placement either. I know other leg curl/ ext machines have a knee pad that is shaped like a 7 instead of a T so u can slide under it. But overall it is a good machine well worth the money

Most likely it would work. It can be placed for easy access, so you don't have to reach near any moving parts. It could be activated by knee, hip, etc. And it can be moved to other tools.

Although I have never used the unit on my knee, I see no reason why it would not work. The unit sends electrical impulses that contract any muscle, strengthening the muscle and increasing blood flow to the applied area.

I don't know. That's a good question. I no longer use Baxyl and my knee still feel great. I would contact the manufacturer and ask that specific question. Also I have found that my local co-op has been very knowledgeable and helpful regarding that type of info. You might might also check Dr. Weils's website.
